Comments This 10 night Aggressor trip had a lot of variety...large & small. We saw Thresher sharks, whale sharks, huge sardine bait balls, turtles, variety of morays & nudis & fish. Corals were plentiful & healthy on some sites & some sites were being attacked by Crown Of Thorns. Having so much variety packed into a 10 night liveaboard trip was great. Vis varied but was mostly good throughout the trip as was the weather & seas. Liveaboard was nice with large cabins & both beds on the floor, large inside eating area & large salon area on higher deck + outside seating & hot tub. Boat was very stable. Main deck cabins had large picture windows; lower deck cabins had port holes. Dive deck was large with camera table & lots of room & 2 warm showers + head. Half way into the trip we had 7 to test positive for covid. They spent the rest of the trip in their cabins while the rest of the divers continued to dive as scheduled. Batteries were charged on dive deck only with plenty of outlets provided. All staff provided great service.

Just signed up for this boat for March 2024 to go to Tubataha, really looking forward to it. They have some good DEMA show discounts if you book by November 30.

Great boat for Tubbataha trip. I've been there on a different boat. Diving was great but boat wasn't. Enjoy your trip.
